Sending Email in PHP from a button

Question

Let me start by saying I do not have a lot of programming knowledge. I use a program called PHPRunner to generate most of the php that I do. It is mainly for small office stuff nothing fancy.

My question is: I have a table that has 6 fields one of them called email. When I go into a record I wanted to put a button called "send notification" that would email the record details to the email address associated with that record.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it is probably out here on the web, possibly searching the wrong way.

Answer 1

You can use the mail function in php. Example from the provided link:

<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Answer 2

For sending email using PHP, use mail() function

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Example:

<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$from    = 'webmaster@example.com';
$headers = 'From: '.$from . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: '.$from . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
